When Prince Andrew and his new wife withdrew to their room after the ceremony, the only thing his bride could think of was getting her shoes off. The rest of the royal family crowded around the door to the bedroom, and they heard roughly what they expected: grunts, straining noises, and an occasional muffled scream.

Eventually, they heard Andrew say, "My word, that was tight."

"There," whispered Queen Elizabeth, listening outside the door. "I told you she was a virgin!"

Then, to their surprise, they heard Andrew say, "Right. Now for the other one."

This was followed by more grunting and straining, and, at last, Andrew said, "My Goodness. That was even tighter."
